I was gripped with a bit of fearWorried the one thing that I lovedBack when I was just a kidMight now never be enoughThat the body I was inMight belong to someone elseSomeone kinderSomeone surerSomeone innocentYoung and beautifulSomeone purer

I was scratching at my skinHopin changes would beginBut what laid beneath was bloodWell of courseWhat the hell was I thinking ofWon't you take me down to the creekWash away our sins of sleepI feel so tiredAs though I mightNot wake at all on the other sideThat's no way to go

And in the morning there'll be hopeAnd in the morning there'll be lightAnd if I sleep and dream up a systemA solutionTo fend off perils of the nightCome on in, I'll be born againBorn again as someone elseSomeone kinderSomeone surerSomeone beautifulSomeone purer
